Someone needs to make a large chart-—The cost of the Wall on the Right side——& the cost of all the benefits/crime/homelessness/ etc on the Left Side of the chart.
I am pretty sure the ANNUAL cost of illegals being here is over 9 times the cost -—one time—of the WALL.
This has to be concise & plain for every single Congress person to see & for the media to have shoved into their faces.
The solution is to create a single bucket for all welfare, for US Citizens and illegals. Once it is spent, there is no more until next year. This will force Congress to disclose how much is spent on welfare and see how US Citizens on welfare like the illegals competing for and possibly limiting the handout.

too simple for these swampers to understand

That is the purpose and source of funding for this purposed legislation.
From the article:
Republican senators have introduced legislation to fully fund President Trump’s
request of $25 billion for the U.S.-Mexico border wall.
“The WALL Act would fully fund the border wall by closing existing loopholes
that provide illegal immigrants with federal benefits and tax credits, without
affecting the benefits and tax credits used by Americans,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas)
said in a statement on Thursday.
To pay for the border wall, the Republicans propose to crack down on benefits for
undocumented immigrants, including requiring that parents have a Social Security
number to claim refundable tax credits, requiring any welfare applicants to prove
they are a citizen and increasing minimum fines on individuals who cross the border
illegally or overstay visas.
“If you want to receive food stamps and other benefits, then you should prove your
citizenship. If you cross the border illegally or overstay your visit to this country,
then you should pay a stiff penalty,” Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) added.
In addition to Kennedy and Cruz, the bill was introduced by Sens. James Inhofe (R-Okla.)
and Mike Rounds (R-S.D.).
Think about the hundreds of billions of hard earned American tax $$$’s spent on the “War on Drugs” since introduced back in Nixon days. 25 billion would look like a drop in the bucket compared to the money spent.
This thought will piss ya off...think about the hundreds of billions that could have been SAVED if there was a wall built back 40 years ago. Back then, the wall probably would have cost 7 billion rather than 25 billion.
It's all kabuki theater...the main cast? Both Dems and Pubs. They've never wanted a wall, either side of the aisle.
